The diagnosis of the complications of endemic diseases is therefore important. We evaluated Brucella endocarditis cases in a teaching hospital in Iran between April 1998 and March 2006. Nine patients with a median age of 38.11 years were recorded, of whom seven (77.7%) were male. Underlying cardiopathy was present in three patients (33.3%). The median duration of the symptoms prior to diagnosis was 5.33 months. Endocarditis involved the aortic valve in six cases (66.6%), the mitral valve in two cases (22.2%) and the aortic valve plus the mitral valve in one case (11.1%). Serologic tests were positive in eight (88.8%) and blood culture was positive in two (22.2%). Aortic valve replacement surgery was undertaken for five patients (55.5%). One patient died due to arrhythmia. A high degree of suspicion is therefore necessary in order to ameliorate the course of Brucella endocarditis. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/td.2009.090039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,23]],"date-time":"2009-10-23T00:35:10Z","timestamp":1256258110000},"page":"47-49","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Brucella endocarditis: a report from Iran"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Negin","family":"Esmailpour","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sima","family":"Borna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehrnaz Rasooli","family":"Nejad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sina Moradmand","family":"Badie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Tehran University of Medical Science, Tehran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Banafsheh Moradmand","family":"Badie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iranian Research Center of HIV\/AIDS (IRCHA), Tehran University of Medical Science, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Azar","family":"Hadadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-003-1026-z"},{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1198-743x.2001.00267.x"},{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-7940(01)00696-0"},{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pcad.2004.10.001"},{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C5","first-page":"381","volume":"8","author":"Ali M","year":"2002","journal-title":"Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Sur"},{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-199607000-00003"},{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/46.5.811"},{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4065\/72.6.532"},{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/clc.4960200319"},{"key":"bibr-TD-09-0039C10","first-page":"209","volume":"4","author":"Uddin MJ","year":"1998","journal-title":"Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg"}],"container-title":["Tropical Doctor"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/td.2009.090039","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1258\/td.2009.090039","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/td.2009.090039","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]],"date-time":"2025-03-02T07:26:54Z","timestamp":1740900414000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/td.2009.090039"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,22]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2010,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/td.2009.090039"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/td.2009.090039","relation":{},"ISSN":["0049-4755","1758-1133"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0049-4755","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1133","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,22]]}}}
